{Anniversary and Being Auntie }

{1 year anniversary }

We have learned so much in the past year from good and bad experiences. The #1 thing that I have seen in my Kev is his amazing faith and love for others. He has taught me so much about my faith and I have never had such an amazing spiritual intimacy with someone. 

Too much ooey-gooey love stuff ??

Lets start some fun >>

At midnight on our anniversary .. 

My hubby gave me this--

 

If you can't see why this canvas is so sweet let me just tell you...

It has bible verses telling each of us what our roles are in marriage and how to treat one another.

This is where we go when we argue to check our hearts before the Lord. 

Not that we ever argue :P 

I love it my husband is so good at being thoughtful.. 

Oh and P.S. let me give a shout out to @JenniferEileenPhotography for capturing this divine photo :) 

{Onward to more fun }

Moonstone Beach 

Kevin took me back to moonstone beach where he originally proposed to me :) It was so sweet ! 

Isn't he just the most thoughtful person? 

Then we went onto Cayucas--Pismo-- Santa Barbara (my new fav)

{Kevin}

 My Hubby

My Leader

My Helper

My Snuggler 

My Comforting Friend. 

Never new I could love someone so dearly. 

My marriage is still very fresh and new and I have so very much to learn. I never want to stop learning my Kevin he is so incredible for me, and I just pray I can be that for him also...

{Opportunities } 

Ever since I was in my last year of high school, I have wanted to be a speech pathologist. I love the thought of helping someone develop a skill that will always help them throughout their life. For the last year and a half I have been a preschool teacher at Clovis Christian School, which was an incredible opportunity for me to learn about children in all of their stages of development! I love my kids their so very much, which made it terribly difficult to leave their darling faces last week. God has a new incredible opportunity for my life at Pinedale elementary. I get to be an IA for a sweet little boy who needs one-on-one attention and it has been incredibly amazing to see the challenge God has brought me. This experience is giving me incredible learning experience for my future job as a speech pathologist, due to the fact that I need to learn how to work with special needs children, so that I can impact them further. I have been so encouraged because I feel like I am continuing to use my gifts for the Lord in a way that is more fit for the way that he designed me. 

I have also begun as of January singing at the Clovis Campus at The Well Community Church, which has been an amazing opportunity. Although I have a ton to learn, Chris Beery and our team has been so helpful in teaching me how to use my voice for the Lord. I have so much more to learn, but feel so blessed to have the opportunity.

{Encouraging }

God's word is always encouraging, but this verse has helped me in so many ways this week :)

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. 

1 Peter 4:10 NIV

(Just some of the lovely parts of life)
